Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

In less than a decade, analyses of ancient genomes have transformed our understanding of
the Indigenous peopling and population history of the Americas. These studies have shown …

More than two hundred papers have reported genome-wide data from ancient humans.
While the raw data for the vast majority are fully publicly available testifying to the …

Our understanding of population history in deep time has been assisted by fitting admixture
graphs (AGs) to data: models that specify the ordering of population splits and mixtures …

Modern humans appeared in Europe by at least 45,000 years ago 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but the extent
of their interactions with Neanderthals, who disappeared by about 40,000 years ago 6, and …

Advances in the isolation and sequencing of ancient DNA have begun to reveal the
population histories of both people and dogs. Over the last 10,000 y, the genetic signatures …

Northeastern Siberia has been inhabited by humans for more than 40,000 years but its deep
population history remains poorly understood. Here we investigate the late Pleistocene …

Due to postmortem DNA degradation and microbial colonization, most ancient genomes
have low depth of coverage, hindering genotype calling. Genotype imputation can improve …

Summary Northern East Asia was inhabited by modern humans as early as 40 thousand
years ago (ka), as demonstrated by the Tianyuan individual. Using genome-wide data …

We report genome-wide ancient DNA from 49 individuals forming four parallel time transects
in Belize, Brazil, the Central Andes, and the Southern Cone, each dating to at least∼ 9,000 …
